Instincts

Mama collected the lunch plates and ran hot water in the sink. One basin was soapy and the other was clear for rinsing. Daddy stood me on a chair and it was my job to rinse and dry dishes while he washed. The rinse water was blistering hot and I grabbed at knives, forks, plates, and tea glasses so as not to burn my little fingers. The scalding water didn’t bother Dad as he chattered with Mama. I put the silverware and glass into the drying rack and Mama put everything into the cabinets. Daddy helped me lift the bigger pots and pans and I perched them on the edge of the drain board, dried them, and then handed them over to be put away. Meanwhile, our ranch hand, Garland Nelson, was lounging under a tree in the front yard. 07/26/2023 23:00

What to expect from Flatonia: Just good football

What to expect from Flatonia: Just good football

Bulldogs football had one of their best seasons in a while last year under head coach Chris Freytag. As Freytag went on to take another job non-football related, incoming head coach Brent Mascheck will take over the reigns of head football coach and athletic director. Freytag had tons to do with Flatonia’s success last year, but the Bulldogs breeding of solid athletes across the board will keep this team in respectable form this fall. 07/19/2023 23:00
